2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 2 hours ago, OldTimer1960 said: The sample size for that success is very small. He had 26 catches last year and 20 of those 26 came against TTU?, SIU, Kent and ULM. 6 combined against Alabama, LSU and Arkansas. I don’t know who TTU is, but I know Southern Illinois, Kent and Louisiana Monroe are not good competition against and SEC team. Agreed and I remember Richie Lucas. I listen to Chris Simms regularly because his understanding of the game goes way beyond most fans...he's really good at watching the film and letting you know what's really happening and I learn quite a lot. A line he always throws out there when talking about DK is "damn, sometimes I wondered if their coaching staff was trying to lose the game. It's like they don't know DK Metcalf and AJ Brown are their best players." He also takes issue with their QB from the tape. I've seen Yolo here on The Wall talk about how you have to be careful with production with college wide receivers because it's a dependent position- the system, playcalls, quarterback and O-line need to do their job for WRs to have a chance. It might be the most dependent position and therefore is the position most requiring CONTEXT in an evaluation rather than just statsheet scouting. It really takes grinding the tape (which I myself do not do) to get a true picture. Lastly, we might want to keep in mind that DK was 20 years old this season. Awhile back someone posted comparisons of DK's production at age 19 and 20 compared to Julio Jones (I think he was included), along with other WRs, at that same young age...and lo and behold, in this context Metcalf's production actually stacked right up. A lot of college players are a good deal older than that, for example Robert Foster is a year out and turns 25 in 2 weeks. With his size and not only speed but crazy acceleration, along with nuanced technique to beat press, he can be a nightmare for CBs. The Bills don't have anyone like that. And not every WR wins the same way...Mike Evans doesn't have to run whip routes and triple breaks. Neither does DK 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither does DK It’s so true - WR are often drafted on traits vs production because of the college QB variable. It’s extremely difficult to evaluate and project to the next level because they are so dependent on the QB. Film is one thing - you can at least see effort, routes, separation - stats are another. Stats are for college awards, not draft position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even lazier! ive seen that article. He glosses over the 2018 per-game production by saying he only had this many yards then got hurt. A lot of opinions on this thread are nuanced and informed on both sides. Don’t come in here with a two word dismissal of a player that has already been disputed back and forth many times over then try to say it’s not lazy by posting a link to bleacher report with no additional insight. 7 minutes ago, WideRightRevenge said: It's a beauty pageant in the 1st round .. many different opinions .. mine ..

Eat a snickers ... let me get this straight ... you are indicating you can't read (or watch) mock drafts on TV this week and none have DK drafted by the Bills at 9 (Mel/Todd, NFL Network, etc.) in order to form an opinion ... do you sit in a cave without the internet and look skyward to form your opinions?? I say my preference to go elsewhere vs drafting your apparently favorite player of all time at #9, and reference his combine performance.

Allen strength is throwing the ball long, to the outside. Was weaker throwing to the middle of the field. Why would they target a TE to help Josh Allen? The Ed Oliver mock is basically to replace All Pro Kyle Williams. Yes, they need to address that position, but it's ALL ABOUT ALLEN. I like Khalen Saunders in the second and moving back up or acquiring a pick in rd 2 to get Zach Allen to address the defense. IMO, they can't pass on Metcalf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 The first Ole Miss receiver off the board should be A.J. Brown, who led the Rebels with 85 catches for 1,320 yards. But that doesn’t mean Metcalf isn’t worthy of a high pick. Steve Palazzolo of Pro Football Focus makes a great case for Metcalf using advanced stats and plain logic. Metcalf averaged 2.83 receiving yards per route run last season, which isn’t as good as Brown (3.01) but better than Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry, a player everyone agrees was an excellent college receiver. Palazzolo also points out that even without great lateral mobility, Metcalf’s skill set remains extremely valuable. Assuming a team has other receivers capable of running crisp short routes—it’s the NFL; most do—Metcalf could still help by going straight down the field on every play. The corners who can run with him can’t outmuscle him, and the corners who can compete physically can’t outrun him. This means he can either get open or require enough help that he stretches the defense and allows more room for those teammates working underneath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the analytics I can't get out of my mind concerning DK... He's 6-3 3/8 - 228 - 4.33 Speed - 40.5 vertical - 27 Reps The average NFL CB is 5-11- 195 - 4.48 Speed - 36.25 Vertical - 15 Reps Now...Numbers mean nothing unless you can apply them on the field...But those numbers are exactly why when DK was on the field...He was dominating... You can't teach what he's got...You can teach what he's not yet...As long as you're not looking for him to be Cole Beasley...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a prospect for everyone. And every draft observer knows that the position that most often surprises for players going later than expected now is WR. We've had a bunch of drafts where there were projected first round WR's who didn't start coming off the board until round 2. In terms of volume it's like RB used to be.........a lot of numbers of capable WR's. Capable is fine if you have Matt Ryan or Brady or Phil Rivers. If you are tryna elevate a young Goff, Wentz or Allen type then you need a stud to open up the field. DK is just a perfect match for Allen.

It would be nice if they could move back, pick up another pick and still get Metcalf (if they want him) in the mid 1st round range. I don't believe he drops much past that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a Red Shirt Soph who got hurt...Twice...He played who he played and when he played he was very good... I get that you don't like the kid...Fine and noted...We'll see...? One TD against Bama on the first play of the game, then one more catch in garbage time (lost 62-7). The two catches vs. Auburn were also garbage time (they were losing 38-3 on the first, 41-10 on the second). Probably facing the Tigers' freshman and sophs at that point. Mississippi State was one catch for 63 yards and one for four. That seems about how this guy rolls. He's the Mike Mamula of WRs, IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
